THE Department of Justice ordered a reinvestigation into the killing of Palawan broadcaster Gerry Ortega after it granted the request of his family seeking the indictment of former governors Joel Reyes of Palawan and Jose Antonio Carrion of Marinduque.


THIRTEEN fishermen were rescued in two separate incidents in Marinduque and Batangas after their vessels capsized due to turbulent waters and strong winds caused by tropical storm “Mina.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima issued Department Order No. 710 creating a new panel to conduct another preliminary investigation of the murder case.


Coast Guard  spokesperson Lcdr. Algier Ricafrente reported that the incident in Marinduque involved a fishing vessel named FB Seniorita Agua.
The charges were filed by Ortega’s widow Patria Gloria against Reyes, Carrion and other respondents.


Those who were saved  were identified as Melecio Donilla, Elisio Donilla, Walter Briones, Anthony Briones, Wilson Briones, Rolando Briones, Demosthenes Lesondre, Enrico Duran, Elmer Altavano, Gabriel Candeloria, Jimmy Briones and Agustin Panisales, all residents of Barangay Cotta, Lucena City.  
This developed as Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, counsel of Reyes, said the result of the reinvestigation will still be the same -- that his client Reyes  is  innocent.


Reports reaching the main headquarters of Coast Guard commandant Admiral Ramon C. Liwag said the vessel with 12 fishermen on-board were on their way to a fishing venture when they  encountered big waves at about 3:10 a.m. brought about by the storm at the vicinity waters off Elephant Island, Lipa, Buenavista.
Reyes welcomed the DoJ order saying all means must be exhausted to bring the perpetrators behind bars.


A certain Liticia Orbe appeared to the Coast Guard Detachment Cotta to report about the incident, it was learned.
The new panel is composed of Assistant State Prosecutors Stewart Allan Mariano, Vimar Barcellano and Gerard Gaerlan.  


The detachment then relayed the information to the Coast Guard Station Lucena, which  alerted the Coast Guard Detachment Gasan to first verify the said report.
De Lima said the reinvestigation will address the offer for additional evidence by the complainants earlier denied by the first panel on Sept. 2.


Personnel of CGDet Gasan were immediately dispatched to the area and got a confirmation statement from the vessel’s captain, identified as AgustinPanisales.
The denial was based on the ground that an earlier resolution had already been promulgated prior to the filing of the complainants.


They also found out that the fishermen were rescued and brought to Sitio Maulawin, Bgy. Torrijos, Marinduque and then to the Torrijos Police Station for proper disposition.
De Lima said she opted to use her plenary power in ordering a reinvestigation instead of waiting the possible petition for review from the complainant.


Her move voided a decision of the former panel dismissing the complainants’ motion seeking reinvestigation of the case.
